Bungie has finally unveiled the workings of the exotic armor exclusive to the upcoming expansion Destiny 2: Edge of Fate, set for release on July 15. This marks the first instance where the developer has shared functionality details regarding the new armor.

In a recent revelation, Bungie discussed the transformations coming to various exotic armor pieces in the Edge of Fate expansion, but the specifics on gameplay impacts were left somewhat ambiguous. Developers provided ample details but did not showcase the armor in action as fans might have hoped. However, the latest information likely addresses some pressing inquiries from the Destiny 2 player community.

New Exotic Armor Concerns from Fans

The newly announced exotic armor introduces exciting abilities, yet some players express unease regarding possible melee nerfs that might diminish damage effectiveness. Although these innovations introduce engaging gameplay elements, concerns linger about how they might alter the game’s difficulty level.

In a previous blog, Bungie outlined significant adjustments to the damage system that could affect melee performance, which poses a legitimate concern for players interested in the new armor features. Nonetheless, only a limited number of players have had early access to the Edge of Fate expansion, making it uncertain if these anxieties are justified.
